My brief explanation for this trade and how it closed

MAX PROFIT - Premium Income
Because this is a Cash Secured Put I can only make money on the Premium I received for placing this trade. I do not own the stock so I do not make any stock appreciation or collect any company dividends should the company offer one.

How I could 'Manage' this trade?
I could manage this Cash Secured Put - #1 - The stock moves HIGHER then my strike price and at or before expiration I can either let the option expire worthless as the stock will not be assigned to me considering it is now trading HIGHER then my strike. I can buy back the option cheaper and release the obligation, collecting the difference between what I received and what I paid to release the obligation.
I could manage this Cash Secured Put - #2 - The stock dips below my strike price and I'm assigned the shares OR I can buy back the option prior to expiration, most likely paying more for the option then I was paid, losing money but not being assigned the shares.
Selling Premium Education Corner (definition and links)
Cash Secured Put - Description -The cash-secured put involves writing an at-the-money or out-of-the-money put option and simultaneously setting aside enough cash to buy the stock. The goal is to be assigned and acquire the stock below today's market price. Whether or not the put is assigned, all outcomes are presumably acceptable. The premium income will help the net results in any event. The investor is bullish on the underlying stock and hopes for a temporary downturn in its price. If the stock drops below the strike, the put may be assigned. That would allow the put writer to buy the stock at the strike price. The effective purchase would be even lower: strike price less the premium received. There are two principal risks. First, the stock might not only dip but plummet well below the strike price. The investor must be comfortable with the strike price as an acceptable long-term acquisition price, no matter how low the market goes.

My brief explanation for this trade and how it closed
MINDSET WHEN OPENED - Below I explain why I did this trade
CCW - MARA is moving higher as I suspected it falling near $34 yesterday ... its trading in a good range where I feel I can keep selling this $40 strike and possibly not have my shares taken ... but if I do, its a green trade for me and we'll take it.
WHEN TRADE CLOSES - I explain my thoughts on how this closed out.
Trade is CLOSED - this option has fallen far below my -50% and taking it off the board now offers me an opportunity to find another CCW for 30 days to make more premium
